Chapter One
A/N: I want to dedicate this story to a few people, but first and foremost I would like to thank my sister Charlotte. She had supported me from the start and I love her to death. Now, this story is dedicated to Charlotte, my friends (who don't even know of its existence) and all the people who have reviewed my stories. Thank you, without you I would have never dared to write this story.
Oh, and this is beta-ed. I wanted to upload this now because this is a surprise for my dear sister (SURPRISE!). I hope she will be my beta-reader, so you can understand why she would see this earlier, but the next chapter will be beta-ed. Promise.
As for the story, it's my baby, so please be kind. It means a lot to me and it's very personal. The first few chapters will be short and it may take a while 'till it's finished because of school and the fact that I have a very busy and turbulent life. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy :D
Chapter One (prologue)
It was just before the beginning of another school year at Hogwarts, the staff was lounging in the staff room, talking about something they didn't usually discuss. Severus Snape was trying to convince the rest of the staff that there were in fact several students who were gay or bisexual. This proved to be more difficult that he would have thought. Homosexuality was taboo and was as worse (or even more) as being a werewolf.
"Oh, come on!" Snape argued as he threw down his potions magazine. "I know a lot of students who are gay, man or woman." It wasn't a much known fact that he was bisexual himself.
"Really?" Sprout asked surprised while holding her cup of tea. Snape nodded.
"Sure, I think most of my house is either gay or bisexual." Snape explained while reaching for his second cup of coffee. He was very fond and protective of his students. Mostly because he saw himself in a lot of them: misunderstood, seen as evil and always stereotype.
"Then I think your house is the only one." Minerva McGonagall said from behind her Daily Prophet. And with that, everyone stopped talking about the subject.

When Minerva informed Albus of her conversation in the staff room, she got him thinking, and that wasn't always a good idea. On the evening of the welcoming feast, he stood up and made a small speech that was certainly not planned.
"If I can all have your attention." The Hall went silent and listened to what he had to say. "As you all know, our world in evolving and progressing. As time moves on, so do opinions and habits and cultures. Many of you, the older ones mostly, have probably been thinking about their nature. Not their nature as in witch or wizard, but about their sexual nature." Many students flushed. They were getting 'the talk' in the Great Hall, every house at the same time! Ron looked at Harry shocked.
"You should all know that the teachers are there for you if you have any questions about this." Many teachers coughed into their drink or sputtered. "There will also be a meeting if you have any questions or if you want to talk in a group. It will be held every Friday evening at eight thirty in the dungeons with professor Snape. Thank you." he sat back down and Harry looked at Snape who couldn't be more shocked. Snape leaned over the table and started to have an argument with Dumbledore, which he lost quickly.
No one noticed that students from every house stopped eating and merely pushed their dinner around on their plates, having lost their appetite.
